I think a lot of things use pre-shrunk fabric these days. I've got t-shirts that haven't shrunk, and t-shirts that have. Unfortunately a lot of band shirts bought at concerts fall into the latter :(.

I tend to find that older (10+ years) t-shirts shrink a lot. Even if I don't wash them.
Same happens to me, but I don't think it's the T-shirts that are shrinking.
I literally have a t-shirt from 1997 that doesn't shrink in our machines. :D

It's weird, I never had that problem yet suddenly my old clothes started shrinking a couple years ago too.
Might have been our new hangers.
Even cheap band t-shirts don't shrink in our dryer. I have sweaters that I am confident would have shrunk in the past, but do just fine here.
On that last, I almost forgot I had direct evidence. We visited a place that shrank some of our clothes that we had washed many times back home.
Warm vs cold water usage,
dryer settings,
local environment in the laundry room.
Probably in that order.
